Did you check to see if apache was running/started? I am not an expert but here is what I would try... I'm not sure what version of OSX you are running but I have the latest version of Tiger, fyi. Here is what I see when I run the following commands from terminal: ps -aux | grep httpd I get results like: ... www 158 0.0 -0.3 46292 6036 ?? S Sat05PM 0:04.42/opt/local/apache2/bin/httpd -k start ... if you dont see any httpd daemons in your process list, then apache might not be running. You can start it by issuing the command /opt/local/apache2/bin/apachectl start Then check to see if localhost works in your browser.

Folks,
I got some great suggestions a while back about what may be wrong with my PHP5 port and why it wasn't running. However, I still can't make it work.
I think the problem may be in Apache itself - my setup, not the port - because when I try to open an html file on my machine using: http://localhost
it comes back with:
********************* Unable to connect
Firefox can't establish a connection to the server at localhost.
* The site could be temporarily unavailable or too busy. Try again in a few moments. * If you are unable to load any pages, check your computer's network connection. * If your computer or network is protected by a firewall or proxy, make sure that Firefox is permitted to access the Web. *********************
Likewise, if I use my local network IP: http://10.0.0.2
it still can't connect.
If I open the files directly (via Finder) with Firefox they work fine, but with: file::://opt/local/apache2/htdocs/index.html as the URL, so I know it isn't going through Apache for that.
Running the port installed command searching for apache comes up with:
Mac-The-Knife:/opt/local/apache2/htdocs Captain$ port installed | grep apache2 apache2 @2.2.8_0 (active) php5 @5.2.5_1+apache2+macosx+mysql5 (active)
If I read this correctly it means that Apache2 should be running.
I would appreciate any help I can get on this problem.
